01 / Common uses in Asheville

What Asheville contractors crush on-site.

01
Concrete demolition

Crush slabs, footings, and structural concrete from building teardowns directly on the demo site. Produce reusable aggregate without a single haul trip.

02
Foundation removal

Process residential and commercial foundations after excavation. Jaw crushers handle rebar-reinforced concrete and reduce it to spec base material on-site.

03
Road and parking lot

Crush broken concrete from road, curb, and parking lot removal. Recycled aggregate goes right back under the new pour as compactable base.

04
Bridge and overpass

Process heavy reinforced concrete from bridge deck and overpass demolition. The CT-850 handles large feed sizes and rebar without issue.

05
Block and masonry

CMU block walls, brick structures, and masonry debris crush quickly into clean aggregate. Lower jaw pressure needed means faster throughput.

06
Rock and stone

Natural rock, limestone, and stone from site excavation. Jaw crushers process virgin rock into spec material for fill, drainage, or road base.

02 / The math

Stop paying to haul rubble.

C&D tipping fees in North Carolina average $45.0 per ton. Every truck load of concrete you send to the landfill costs you twice: once for tipping, again for the truck and driver. On-site crushing eliminates both and produces reusable base aggregate worth approximately $12 per ton.

C&D volume 100 tons
Tipping fee $ 45.0 /ton
One-way miles to landfill 25 mi
Truck capacity 20 tons

Hauling cost based on $4.50/loaded mile, round-trip. Replacement aggregate valued at $12/ton (typical recycled concrete base price). Estimate only: your final quote uses real Asheville-area rates and your project specifics.

The numbers

On-site crushing vs. hauling: cost comparison for Asheville contractors.

The break-even point for on-site crushing in the Asheville market is lower than most contractors expect. At $45.00/ton tipping and a 25-mile haul to Buncombe County Landfill, a project with 50 tons of concrete already saves money by crushing on-site. The savings scale linearly: 200 tons means roughly $11,250 saved versus hauling, even after the crusher rental cost.

The math is straightforward. Haul-out costs include tipping fees, round-trip trucking, driver time, and the replacement aggregate you need to buy to backfill. On-site crushing costs include the rental, fuel, and an operator. The rental is a fixed weekly cost. The haul-out costs multiply with every truck load.

Asheville contractors who run the numbers usually rent. The ones who process concrete regularly end up buying a crusher through our main site.

What goes in the jaw

What jaw crushers process. What they don't.

Jaw crushers are built for hard, brittle materials: concrete, rock, brick, block. They are not designed for flexible or soft materials. Feeding the wrong material damages the jaw plates, voids your rental agreement, or both.

Can crush

  • Concrete
  • Reinforced concrete
  • Rock / stone
  • Brick
  • Block / CMU
  • C&D rubble

Concrete, rock, brick, and block are what jaw crushers are engineered for. The CT-850 includes an integrated overband magnet for rebar separation. The CT-535 magnet is optional.

×

Can't crush

  • Asphalt need impact crusher
  • Dirt / soil
  • Wood / stumps
  • Metal-only scrap
  • Household waste
  • Hazardous materials

Asphalt requires an impact crusher, not a jaw crusher. Asphalt is flexible and gums up jaw plates instead of fracturing cleanly. If you have asphalt, ask us about impact crusher options.

03 / Sizing

Two models. Pick by project size.

We connect you with two Evortle jaw crushers in Asheville: both track-mounted, same crushing principle, different production capacity. Not sure which fits? Tell us your project volume, we will size it.

Asheville right now

Why Asheville crushes more concrete than ever.

Asheville's Buncombe County issues demolition permits year-round. Between redevelopment in the Downtown area, steady tear-and-rebuild activity near River Arts District, and commercial site work across the metro, concrete demolition debris piles up fast. A portable jaw crusher on your demo site turns that pile into reusable base material: no haul trips, no tipping fees, no waiting for a landfill slot.

We connect Asheville contractors with Evortle CT-535 and CT-850 jaw crushers delivered directly to the jobsite. The compact CT-535 fits through residential gates and handles single-lot teardowns. The CT-850 runs full production on commercial demo sites across Buncombe County. Both produce spec aggregate you can use on your own project or sell to the site next door.

Asheville's 1.2% growth rate in Buncombe County belies a construction market constrained by mountain terrain, driving up demand for specialized equipment. Tourism fuels hotel construction, while the South Slope brewery district and River Arts District transformation add commercial projects. Steep grades and rocky soil conditions make concrete crushing and material processing particularly valuable for local contractors.

Contractors working across Asheville's Downtown, River Arts District, and South Slope areas need reliable equipment access. Having a concrete crusher delivered to your jobsite saves the round-trip haul to the nearest disposal facility every day you are on the job.

The nearest quarry is Vulcan Materials - Woodfin (5 miles). The closest C&D recycling facility is Buncombe County Recycling Center. Crushing on-site means you do not need either one: your demolition concrete becomes your base aggregate, right where you need it.

Mountain climate. Cooler than Piedmont. Winter weather can interrupt construction. Steep terrain affects equipment placement.

Asheville's active construction market drives demand for demolition debris processing and concrete recycling. Current and recent projects include:

  • River Arts District transformation from former industrial area to mixed-use creative district, with demolition and adaptive reuse of warehouse buildings.
  • South Slope brewery district infill construction and new commercial development on steep Buncombe County terrain.
  • Hotel and hospitality construction across downtown Asheville serving the tourism economy, with demolition of older structures and code-compliant rebuilding.

Equipment rental demand in Asheville is driven by contractors supporting Mission Health (HCA), Biltmore Company, and Ingles Markets, along with general construction and demolition companies serving Buncombe County. The city's Mountain soil: clay and rocky with steep terrain makes screening equipment valuable for processing excavated material into reusable fill. Healthcare facility construction, road and infrastructure improvements, and commercial development all contribute to steady demand for crushing and screening equipment.

The nearest C&D landfill to most Asheville jobsites is Buncombe County Landfill, roughly 25 miles away. Tipping fees run $45.00 per ton. A 20-ton truck load costs you $45.0 x 20 = $900 in tipping alone, plus $225 in trucking at $4.50 per loaded mile round-trip. Ten truck loads: $11,250 hauling rubble that could have been base material.

An on-site jaw crusher eliminates every one of those costs. The crushed concrete produces 3/4-inch minus aggregate worth roughly $12 per ton. On a 200-ton job, that is $2,400 in recovered material value on top of the hauling costs you did not spend.

05 / Delivery

Delivered to your Asheville jobsite.

Asheville's mountain location in Buncombe County means equipment delivery involves steep grades and winding roads on I-40, I-26, and US-74. Mountain terrain affects delivery times, and some remote job sites may require smaller transport equipment. I-40 and I-26 provide primary access, but local roads often involve significant elevation changes.

Concrete crusher rental FAQ: Asheville.

Concrete crusher rental pricing in Asheville depends on the model and rental duration. The compact CT-535 fits residential demo jobs. The production CT-850 handles commercial-scale work. Contact us at 770-433-2670 for a quote based on your Buncombe County project.

At mid-range output, the CT-535 processes 100 tons in roughly 4-5 hours. The CT-850 handles the same volume in about 1-1.5 hours. Add time for loading, magnet separation, and stockpiling. Most single-day residential demo jobs complete crushing in half a day or less.

The CT-850 includes a standard integrated overband magnet that automatically separates steel rebar from crushed aggregate. The CT-535 offers the magnet as an option. Rebar collects in a pile for scrap recycling. You do not need to cut rebar out of the concrete before feeding it into the crusher.

Yes. Jaw crushers handle concrete block, brick, and masonry along with poured concrete. These materials crush faster than reinforced structural concrete because they have no rebar. The output is clean aggregate suitable for fill and base material.

The CT-535 needs a flat pad roughly 30x50 feet for the machine, feed stockpile, and output conveyor. The CT-850 needs about 40x80 feet. You also need room for a loader or excavator to feed the crusher. We can help you plan the site layout before delivery.

Jaw crushers process concrete (plain and rebar-reinforced), concrete block, brick, and natural rock. They do NOT process asphalt. If your Asheville project involves asphalt, you need an impact crusher. The CT-850 includes an integrated overband magnet for rebar separation. The CT-535 magnet is optional.

Yes. We coordinate delivery and pickup to jobsites throughout Asheville, Buncombe County, and neighboring communities. The CT-535 ships on a standard tag-along trailer. The CT-850 requires a lowboy. Most Asheville-area deliveries happen within 24-48 hours of quote approval.
